Unique Homemade French Fry Recipes for National French Fry Day or any day. From traditional and purple potatoes, to daikon root and creamy avocados, there is definitely something for everyone!
Let’s be honest, we can and should celebrate French fries every day.
Enter: Unique Homemade French Fry Recipes!
Did you know there’s a food holiday every single day of the year? It’s true, and kinda silly, if you ask me — but who am I not to celebrate food!? I mean, c’mon.
National French Fry Day
There’s everything from National Root Beer Float Day (August 6th) and National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day (April 2nd), to National Stuffed Mushroom Day (no joke! February 4th) and National Coffee Ice Cream Day (September 6th).
I’m thinking we’re going to combine the Root Beer Float with the Coffee Ice Cream and create a new holiday! And I did! You can check that out here.
Want to check out what the country is celebrating on your birthday, or hey, even tomorrow? Here’s an index of all of the food holidays — including those for the weeks and months, as well as some celebrated around the world.
I’m calling the list of French Fry recipes I’m sharing unique because a couple of them are fries made without potatoes, and some have interesting flavors (crusts) added to them.
What can you make French fries with other than potatoes?
Really, so many things.
- Avocados (below)
- Daikon root (below)
- Turnips
- Kohlrabi
- Carrot
- Apple
- Zucchini
- Butternut squash
And then some.
Now, let’s get to those French fries, shall we?

French fry day? Count me in! I actually went to 5 Guys over the weekend and there fryer was broke. How DOES that happen? Must make my own now and it looks like you have some great choices!

It should be French Fry Day every singe day. Love ’em. Rarely eat them because, well, I can’t resist them. Great roundup of recipes. My favorite food day — because it’s so weird — is December 30th. National Bicarbonate of Soda Day. Woo-hoo! One of these days I’ll do a post in honor of it. I actually have a really fun idea to “celebrate” it. 🙂
valentina says
Ha! John, I love that! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Your cocktails are always beautiful so I know it’ll be fabulous. Happy you like the fries. Stay well. 🙂 ~Valentina
